OK, fair enough.
I would really appreciate if the original reporters could retest with
this patch on top of the current Linus tree. The stable backport posted
earlier doesn't apply on the current master cleanly but the change is
essentially same. mmotm tree then can revert this patch before Vlastimil
series is applied because that code is touching the currently removed
code.
